Precious Bodily Fluids

[Moonwatcher]

Have foxtel on in the background with an Elvis doco running. Anyway one of Elvis' friends claimed that when Elvis got too fat and lazy, he would tell girls that he could not give up his precious bodily fluids.

Is this a famous Elvis line? Where did the Dr Strangelove (general Jack D Ripper) line come from? The film was made in '63 but elvis only got fat in the late 60's 70's right? Is there any connection between the 2?

thanks

"General Ripper's paranoia about water fluoridation is based on a conspiracy theory by the John Birch Society, which was founded in 1958 and was prominent in conservative politics for a short time in the early 1960s"

This thinking originates form the ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy which viewed the loss of body fluids during sex as a loss of vital energy.
